Toxic Popcorn Design Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.
Engineered Music
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how musical instruments are engineered.
Playing with Parachutes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.
Engineer a Dam
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.
Harmless Holder
Source Institutions
Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.
The Parachuting Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.
Irrigation Ideas
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.
Rescue Rover
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how rescue devices are designed to aid professionals during emergency situations.
Pipeline Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.
Dispenser Designs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.
Pollution Patrol
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.
Filtration Investigation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.
Human Interface Design: The Chocolate Factory
Source Institutions
In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.
Design a Park
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!
Zero-Energy Housing
In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.
MarsBound!: Mission to the Red Planet
Source Institutions
MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.
